From the Isle of Music & Uncle Bill\u2019s Melting Pot January Schedule<\/h1>\n

From the Isle of Music:<\/strong>
\nJanuary’s program will feature retro Cuban music from the 1950s and 1960s and will air as follows:
\n(NEW) Friday, January 10:
\n3955 kHz at 2200 UTC
\nSaturday, January 11:
\n(NEW) 3955 at 1800 UTC simulcasted with 9670 using beam E-F (repeat of January 10 episode).<\/p>\n

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot:<\/strong>
\nJanuary’s program will feature mainly Kurdish music and will air as follows:
\n(NEW) Friday, January 17:
\n3955 kHz at 2200 UTC
\nSaturday, January 18:
\n(NEW) 3955 at 1800 UTC simulcasted with 9670 using beam E-F (repeat of January 17 episode).<\/p>\n

In addition to regular radio listening, both shows honor reception reports using websdrs provided that the report covers the entire program and specifies which remote sdr was used. All QSLs are eQSLs, and we will probably send an acknowledgment only for partial reports.<\/p>\n
